PSP: Out Tomorrow (in Japan). But does anyone care?

They can't sell DS numbers because they don't have enough systems to sell. :)

Five launch games... similar to DS really, which had six or seven... both start with quite small lineups. But of course since it had the earlier launch the DS has a slightly larger one.

PSP vs DS is interesting because of how different the systems are. Though right now it's not as big because PSP does not have music or movies or any of that stuff yet, just games... but still, it's 'high tech with a huge screen, etc' vs 'lower tech but innovative with a touchscreen'. Very different systems, makes it hard to directly compare them... you can, but because of their big differences it's not as easy as it is for many systems.

Who will be more successful? Well Nintendo's off to a great start, at least... and I really do think that for most of the handheld-buying public the DS has a very good chance to win if Nintendo tries (which is never a sure thing...). I doubt the PSP will be taking over anytime soon... especially when you remember that the GBA will be the #1 handheld for a long time to come. :)
